The roommate roulette strikes fear into almost every college kid – will your roommate be nice, funny, mean… do they snore!? We start a new adventure at an unfamiliar school with hopes of a bright future. The only few clouds in the sky look a little like being shoved into a tiny room to survive a year of relentless research papers, group projects and public speeches, with a kid we have never met, but let’s be honest it has definitely been worth the struggle.
Your roommate may be your best friend, worst enemy or just another face you see around campus. Whether we have survived the first year with living with a random or sharing a room with an old friend, there are certain things we all have addressed with our roommates that we just may not say in the real world.
